Full Memory Dump Commands
Full memory dump commands let you retrieve the memory dump from a switch. This option is
particularly useful when a switch crashes. The memory dump (or core dump) can be analyzed in a
debugger to determine the cause of the crash.
A core dump file can be generated automatically when a switch crashes, or on request through a
CLI command. Bec
ause of limitations of the flash memory, the core dump file needs to be written
to a USB flash drive.
A core dump file is also generated automatically when a switch reloads after a log error has
occur
red. You can configure a full memory dump to include the executable filename, time stamp,
host name, MAC address, and other options in its file name.
exception protocol
This command lets you specify the protocol that is used to store the core dump file. By default,
the option is none, which disables the memory dump.
no exception protocol
This command returns the protocol that is used to store the core dump file to its default value.
exception dump filepath
This command configures the subdirectory of a USB device. The core dump file is written to the
specified directory.
no exception dump filepath
This command resets the directory to which the core dump file is written.
